I choose to pursue a technology based solution to our grading of metaphase chromosome analysis. This will ease the burden on faculty to grade, provide more detail records of student performance, provide opportunities for more consistent feedback for students.

I think students want a better form of feedback that this can provide. In terms of empathy, I really have to get into their heads when using this tool to make sure it makes the most sense possible. I did a lot of online research to find a potential tool – and a tool that would provide solid access at a low cost. This is a very special use case for this tech so it was difficult to find a good one to use. For implementation I would like to do additional prototypes, beta-test these with current students before including them in course content in the next semester. Attached is a screenshot of a quiz questions that I filled in. Still a lot to learn in the best way to setup but it is fully automated!
